Doolay Beachfront Hostel Hostel

Friendly staff. Room is okay. The best thing is people who stay here. Super friendly. Meet bunch of guys here. Recommended.

The hostel is in a quieter area away from the parties of patong, but you still can go there by tuk tuk pretty fast and cheap. If you want to just relax and pay a cheap price then this place is great. The host is accommodating and nice and he helped me book a ticket for the ferry. They also have a kitchen right inside and will cook food for you. Just make sure to bring your own lock for the lockers, and your own towel and soaps.

Well let’s start off with the fact that this hostel is a lot nicer in photos than in person. When you arrive the staff are not very friendly. The hostel is in a great location, but with cold showers, no towels provided and cockroaches running around the hostel it makes it not worth the stay. The bed sheets were also not clean upon arrival for several guests, very sandy and you could tell someone has slept in them before. Not to mention this is supposed to be a quiet hostel, but the workers threw a party with their Thai friends singing karakoke until 5am and refused to quiet down. The hostel has great potential but fell short on my recent thailand trip.

Great location right in the beach. And great common area for chilling and drinking.

Amazing stay in Karon. Beautiful chill space and we all loved it. Wonderful spot. HIGHLY recommend.

Awesome spot! Total catch, right across the street from the beach and it's definitely one of the better and cleaner beaches on the island. Live a night in Phuket and check this spot out!

To live the glory to God has not. But the fact that you need to get out on the street, wash your feet and then only go there is horrified. It seems that it is not a hostel but a holy place. Who this fact is not confused can and can be considered, because the location is very good. The beach is just across the trail. Downstairs there are a couple of pretty decent and inexpensive cafes.

It's right across the road from the beach. With plenty of dining, tours and rental in the area. Cleanliness is alright. Social space is very nice with bean bags and big tv, could do with more visible ban on smoking inside since Chinese seem to not care or not understand that the social room is not the same as balcony. Kitchen is really a kitchenette with just a microwave, kettle and toaster, limited cutlery and few plastic cups and plates. Very limited space in the dorms, no way on earth to house luggage of 6-8 people in the room. Also a party place at times, so don't expect to get a good night sleep. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Amazing location! Right on the beach. Right above a convenience store. Restaurants everywhere. Wi-Fi was a tad bit dodgy the last day or so we were there. Beds were a bit firm. But honestly loved this place. It's not a party hostel so if that's what you're looking for go to Patong or something. Good staff. Pretty clean. But honestly can't beat the location.

Really chill place pretty much right on the beach. Clean and secure, has AC in the dorms, and good showers with hot water. The common areas are also big and comfy. The street is noisy, but you get used to it.

Very clean. Nice common room. Moderate prices.

The best hostel in Phuket. If you're looking for a homely place to chill and meet awesome people from around the world then this is your joint. Staff are super friendly and helpful. They help arrange airport transfers and discounted tours to the island. Literally metres from the beach. It's quiet in comparison to Kate and Pa Tong which is great as everyting is really relaxed and the beach is lovely. The hostel has a balcony to chill and large TV and couch, and no curfews. They also make food too, very cheap and as good, if not better than ther restaurants in the local area. Definitely stsy here!

Por ist amazing and so is the rest of the stuff! nothing bad about this hostel. Wanted to stay one night… no chance, that guy makes u wanna stay forever.

Best hostel ever! Highly recommend. Great location and super clean and great atmosphere.

Very cool and quiet place at the same time, I meet really amazing travelers and staff. The room was empty only for me and the toilet Is interesanting!

Excellent hostel with cheap eats and drinks. The staff is amazing.

Nice hostel right in front of the Karon Beach. Rooms are clean and friendly staff. Super comfortable bed and has a night light on each bunk. The floor in the room was sandy all the time and toilet was always wet. There are not much to do at night as Karon Beach us very quiet compared to Patong Beach. Oh and AMAZING food at the hostel!

Forced to walk barefoot.

Such a gem. Very well decorated. Very clean. Great reception. Let us walk in with no reservation just to see the place and the rooms before we booked. Right outside the beach and between so many restaurants.

Don't know what there is about the hotel. But under it there is a good cafe where I ate good pizza.

Super clean hostel with great hosts. Common area is great with tv, beanbags, balcony, DVD player, dvds, games etc. They have a fridge for your water and food and lockers in the rooms big enough for a big rucksack! Also right across the road from the beach and there are some great restaurants next door with veggie food. Met some awesome people, we will definitely be back!

Reception manned until midnight then its locked so u can only get in with your key. Chilled atmosphere and much more relaxed area than patong. Beanbags & benches on balcony overlooking the beach. 4k curved TV with netflix, dvd player and surround sound. Good food served at a better price than anywhere local except on sundays. Shops nearby. Washing machine and fridge available to use. Dorm was nicely air conned and had locker big enough for large bag, can rent locks and peds cheaper than anywhere else I found. They can also book your trips to other islands. Highly recommended.

Very nice and comfortable and chill place. The room was comfortable and cosy. Nice and clean toilet. Note that its beside the beach, so the floor tends to get abit sandy. Toilets is nice but door can do a bit of fixing. Hard to lock. But overall a nice place to stay at.

Very good hostel, well run! Has a good location and atmosphere!

Wonderful hostel in a really crappy part of Phuket. The beach isn't great but its RIGHT across the street and the view from Doolay is incredible. The food is cheap and good there too and they keep it really clean. Kata has a much better nightlife.

The hostel in itself is great. Clean, comfortable with many shower/toilet cabins (what means no queues), nice common area and breakfast options. The location is not the best if you wish to do something at night (Karon beach is a dead place). Regarding information and transportation, they offer good options with decent prices for the trip to Phi Phi for example (including the transfer to the pier). However, when I asked for info regarding the local bus, the lady in the reception pretended it did not exist, what I consider really bad for a backpacker place. So my two stars down are for this lack of honesty and the location.
